Rain, wind, strong surf and ... froth?

Keeping the most current information coming takes a bit of effort and I was looking after some of our online coverage of the carnage ex tropical cyclone Oswald brought our way.

Mr ex Oswald dumped massive amounts of water, blew over trees and signs, took out powerlines and whipped up massive surf and huge tides.

Our news journalist managed to get some photos of its impact on the coast.

Never having seen a cyclone, this topped my list of wild weather experiences.

But as is often the case with Mother Nature, her fierceness carried with it some small delights.

Froth.

Masses of it.

After a day of frantic preparation advice, emergency warnings and important phone numbers, to see a road engulfed by cappuccino coloured froth, and people dancing through it in excitement was a gorgeous and surreal moment.
